Launch of new research project SIMU

We can proudly announce the start of our new research project “SIMU: Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) für Klein- und Mittelständische Unternehmen (KMU)”. SIMU started on October 1st and will be completed in September 2015.

The goal of SIMU is the development of a SIEM system that utilizes novel network security approaches to meet the specific requirements of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) like ease of integration, small administrative effort and cost effectiveness.

SIMU will benefit from the experiences that we and our partners DECOIT GmbH, Fraunhofer SIT, macmon and NCP have gathered during the ESUKOM research project. The IF-MAP based software developed during the ESUKOM project will be extended and enhanced to create more sophisticated tools that allow for better automation and address the limited possibilities of SMEs in security expert knowledge and resources.

The SIMU research project is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF, FKZ: 16KIS0045).
